This photo is an example of a backlight, with the light showing in the bottom right of the composition. It is also the main light being exposed to the photo. With how it’s placed, it makes the model (or myself) more focused, and as well making it more dramatic and awe-inspiring.

This photo has a background light meaning that there is a light on the background creating separation between the background and you. A backlight is something else: it is a light that points towards the camera often leaving the subject in shadow.
